Cleaning the inside of your vehicle
After washing the inside of your vehicle with any cleaner, wipe it dry in a shady, well ventilated area.
NOTE ● Always read the instructions on the cleaner label.
Plastic, vinyl leather, fabric and flocked parts
1. Lightly wipe these off with a soft cloth soaked in a 3% solution of gentle soap and water.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the detergent thoroughly.
NOTE ● Do not use cleaners, conditioners, and protectants contain-
ing silicones or wax. Such products, when applied to the instrument panels or other parts, may cause reflections on the windscreen and obscure vision. Also, if such products get on the switches of the electrical accessories, it may lead to failure of these accessories.
Upholstery
1. To maintain the value of your new vehicle, maintain the upholstery carefully and keep the interior clean. Use a vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the seats. If stained, vinyl and synthetic leather should be cleaned with an appropriate cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned with either upholstery cleaner or a 3% solution of gentle soap in lukewarm water.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum cleaner and remove any stains with carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be removed by lightly dabbing with a clean white cloth and spot remover.
NOTE ● If fuzzing is difficult to remove from the seat upholstery,
draw a suitable defuzzing brush over the surface in one direction.
Genuine leather (if so equipped)
1. To clean, lightly wipe the leather with a soft cloth soaked in a 5% solution of gentle soap and water.
2. To rinse, dip the cloth in fresh water, wring it out well, and wipe off all the soap.
3. To preserve and protect, use a leather protecting agent on the genuine leather surface.
NOTE ● If genuine leather is wet with water, wipe it with a dry,
soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may grow and damage the leather surface.
CAUTION! ● Do not use organic substances (solvents, kerosene,
alcohol, gasoline, etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions. These chemicals can cause discoloring, staining or cracking of the surface. If you use cleaners or polishing agents, make sure their ingredients do not include the substances men- tioned above.
Vehicle care and maintenance
● The genuine leather surface can be damaged if brushed with a nylon or synthetic fiber brush.
● Organic solvents such as benzine, alcohol, gasoline, acid or alkaline solvents can discolor the genuine leather sur- face and should not be used.
● Remove dirty patches or oil substances quickly as they can stain genuine leather.
● The genuine leather surface may harden and shrink if it is exposed to the direct sunlight for long hours. When your vehicle is parked, place it in the shade as much as possi- ble.
● When the temperature of the vehicle interior rises in sum- mer, vinyl products left on the genuine leather seat may deteriorate and stick to the seat.
